Chicks got it right about government dependency

The Chicks on the Right want women to be responsible for their own decisions. Betty Cockrum, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky, ridiculed married or stiletto-heeled feminists in her Aug. 18 letter. She implies that women who "wear scrubs, aprons or hairnets" aren't represented by the Chicks.

I have been a single scrub-attired mom who got no child support for my two sons and I never took a dime from the government. It was my responsibility to support a child I brought into the world - planned or not. That's part of the responsibility of having sex.

Women choosing to have sex with their birth control or abortion on demand paid for by taxpayers while screaming "It's my right and my body" aren't being adult, responsible or feminist. It may be their body, but it's my tax dollars. A feminist determines her own choices in life, but shouldn't plan on others subsidizing it.

Cockrum, with her job in the abortion industry and Planned Parenthood, demands I pay for another person's irresponsible choices. Why would a feminist enable another woman to depend on government largess? The Chicks got it right.
